This recipe is very confusing. First it asked for cubed sweet potatoes, either canned or fresh. Secondly, it tells you to mash the sweet potatoes, so you assume it means to cook them before mixing them with the other ingredients. Thirdly, it tells you to cook the casserole until the potatoes are tender. Needs to be clarified. I cooked the potatoes first, then mashed them. I also had to add some time to the cooking, add at least 20 minutes to the cooking time.

Diana, VERY good! Every1 RAVED! I think this calls for way to much melted butter, next time I'll only melt 2 sticks butter for the whole thing. I also used 3/4 cup crushed corn flakes in the potatoe mixture for a total of 1 1/2 cups crushed flakes. I used a 29 oz. can cut up sweet potatoes witch mashes to approximatly 2 cups. Next time I'll try only 1/2 cup sugar if not any as I felt this didn't need sugar. GR8 recipe! THANKS!

Even tho I had to make a few changes this is still a 5 start recipe. I looked at other reviews before making it and follow some advice. I only used 1 Cup white sugar 1/2 cup margarine in both places It turned out great. I made it for my hubbys employee Thanks Giving work lunch and none came home with him. I also used canned yams for I already had them. That was the main reason I cut back on sugar for it has sugar in them. If I would of use Fresh sweet potatoe I would of needed the extra sugar I'm sure. I did drain all juices off my canned yam before using them. Would make again for sure and thank you for sharing your recipe hun 0(*_*)0 Tonya

OMG! These were the best sweet papas I've ever had. The only thing I did different was use about half the white sugar and increased the brown sugar to about 1/2 - 3/4 cup jam packed. Oh, and also I mixed in some mini marshmellows into the potatoes. Simply wonderful!

Excellent recipe and this is now going to be a holiday standard. I like things sweet, but I cut the sugar in half and only used 1 stick of butter for the casserole and 1/2 stick for the topping. Came out beautifully and ooey gooey!!

I made this last year for the first Thanksgiving at my house. WOW! Everyone loved it! My husband who says he "hates" sweet potatoes really liked it to his surprise. I came hunting for it this year because I lost the one I printed out. I remember making a few 'tweaks' but nothing major. You can't go wrong with this one! It was requested this year and it will be on our Thanksgiving table for years to come. Thanks Diana and whomever Charline is too!

This dish is wonderful. I made a few changes though. I used fresh sweet potatoes, chopped them into small pieces and boiled them until just tender. Then I left out the coconut completely and instead of using all white sugar, I used half brown. After reading other reviews, I also used 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter in the dish and 1 stick in the topping. It was just right, no oozing!

This was the first time I had ever made a sweet potato casserole. The end result was great! I have to admit that I was confused when making it b/c the recipe says to mash the potatoes and then later says to bake until they are tender. My thought process was that I should boil the potatoes in the beginning in order to mash them but I didn't....I just cubed them. While baking it, it looked like soup and my husband thought I messed something up :) but when I took it out it thickened up like a casserole. Will make again!

I didn't really care too much for this dish. I thought it was too sweet. I think if I ever made this again, I'd not use as much sugar.
